Thanks for the compliments on the docs, breck. I helped get these up on GitHub and I think the existing document that would come closest to what you're looking for is the term sheet. That's essentially a one page summary of the key terms that are laid out in the other documents.
Regarding the "plug in" process you mention, that's actually a good analogy for what happens between these docs, which are used in a seed round, and the larger set of docs that are used in a next round like a Series A. Believe it or not, these Series Seed docs are significantly stripped down from what Series A docs look like.
Not sure if that entirely answers your question or not, but let me know if there's anything I can help out with.
- breck 14y agoThanks for the response Jason, and for the docs. That does answer my question. I guess for me, I see these documents and I am overwhelmed. But that's just probably because it's so foreign to me. I actually was going to say, is there anyway to make these documents more concise like underscore.js? Then I opened up underscore.js in Textmate, hit print, and realized it would be 30 pages printed. I guess I didn't realize how much the perceived length of something depends on the background of the reader. For me, underscore.js is small and concise, for a non programmer it probably looks like a tome. When I saw the Seed docs to me it was a tome, but to you it's probably a quick read. I do wish legal docs were smaller. But I also wish code were smaller. And I don't really have an answer to how to make that so!
